Liverpool chairman Tom Werner says the club will attempt to organise a parade through the city if the Premier League season is completed and the Reds are able to seal the title.

Jurgen Klopp's side were just two wins away from securing Liverpool's first top-flight title since 1990 before football was suspended as a result of the coronavirus crisis.

There is growing optimism that the season may be able to be concluded behind closed doors, however, and Werner says he will do everything in his power to ensure there is a celebration to mark the teams' achievements once it is safe to do so.

Speaking to The Associated Press, Werner said: "There's a hole in so many people's lives. Football is so central to their dreams and their hopes.

"And certainly, as regards Liverpool, we are playing magnificent football and we are just a couple of matches away from winning the trophy. But I do put it in perspective.

"It’s a terrible situation we’re all in. Someday, hopefully, there will be a vaccine and we can return to the joy of being in a stadium and watching the elegant play of great football players.

"We hope at some point, people will be able to sit next to each other and enjoy the experience of a sporting event. But that seems like a long way off at the moment."

Hundreds of thousands of fans lined the streets of Liverpool when the team celebrated winning the Champions League with an open top bus parade last year, and Werner added: "I thought I never could imagine experiencing anything like that.

"Then somebody said, ‘Well, if we win the Premier League, this parade will be dwarfed.’ So, I am looking forward to a parade sometime when we can all congregate because I know how important that means to all of our supporters."
